Portofino Glory..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Just finished this pastel. It is on a piece of Sennelier sanded paper, my favorite pastel substrate.

Portofino Drift..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Finally finished this one.. Pastel on red Sennelier paper.

I am a part of a pastel presentation for Austin Pastel Society on Sunday 28th October  (approx. 3.30-4.30 pm) at Precision Camera in Austin. Please come along if you want to see a fun demonstration by 5 artists.

You would be most welcome. We have a silent auction at the end of each work, and the money raised goes into our scholarship fund.

This presentation is called a PAINT AROUND where all five artists begin on their own artwork for first ten minutes, then it is passed around to the next artist for them to do another ten minutes pastelling  on it.

 The demo lasts one hour with the artwork ending up in front of the original artist, for them to 'tweak' what the other artists have done to their work.

Great fun!

The above pastel painting is me getting in readiness for this presentation.

The Bridge, Saint Germaine..Pastel...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This image was a demo in pastels I did while on my France workshop in Frayssinet. 

This day we all went to Saint Germaine, and sadly, the heavens opened up and dumped buckets of rain on us. So we sort refuge back at le Vieux Couvent and the lovely dry studio for a couple f hours.

Such is the weather in France, and not long after the rain, the sun was out again and we all went to a great antique market in Labastide Murat. 

One never knows with France, but one thing seems to be for sure, the weather does not stay bad for long.

This is a pastel on tan Sennelier sanded paper. 
9" x 12"

A Playful Balance..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This one is a demo I did in conjunction with my watercolor waterfall study I posted three posts ago, a demo on moving water, action and drama. 

I did this demo the same day, in pastels on Sennelier paper.

I did not have a reference photo for this demo, and was getting the students ready for hopefully seeing a waterfall the next day, when we painted at an outdoor location. 

I love to paint the action packed waterfalls, and somehow it looks better (for me) if the artist memorizes a scene and lets a little imagination play into the painting. After all the water is constantly moving, so studying it and watching how it falls will help when you paint it.

It will make the artist really concentrate on the movement of the water, storing that little personal video in the head for later use.

This pastel is on a tan colored Sennelier sanded paper, it's all pure pastel, no underpainting. I prefer my pastels to be done this way.

I hope you like this one.
